GENESI. THE PERFECTION OF NATURE, FOR A JEWEL THAT CELEBRATES REBIRTH.

A visit to the Natural History Museum of Genoa with his son and the intriguing shape of the Nautilus, which struck his imagination as a child, inspired Massimo Gismondi for the new Gismondi 1754, Genesi jewelry collection.

From that visit, Massimo Gismondi's curiosity led him to research the theory of the "Golden Section": "The shell of the Nautilus perfectly reproduces the Golden Spiral, a geometric progression studied by Leonardo Fibonacci - the great Pisan mathematician of the thirteenth century - placed at the base of his famous "numerical progression" in which he was amazed to discover how this design, in nature, is repeated similar in a multitude of examples, from the shape of galaxies, to the arrangement of the petals of the rose or of the seeds of the sunflower flower ", says Massimo Gismondi.

The collection celebrates the genetic code that is repeated in nature, expressed and reinterpreted with a path of white diamonds on a refined spiral in pink gold, like the section of the shell of the Nautilus.

Surrounded on both sides, each jewel features delicate drops in white ceramic.

Sunflower
In the sunflower, the number of spirals formed by the pistils follows the Fibonacci progression.

“The elegance of the form is a journey in the knowledge of perfect proportions, in the history of science, nature and mathematics, from which struck me with emotion. I saw a sign of rebirth linked to the period we are experiencing, a new genesis in fact, and it was by chance that I made the first prototypes during the lockdown ".
